St. John Chrysostom St. John Chrysostom (347-407AD) was a notable Christian bishop and preacher from the fourth and fifth centuries in Syria and Constantinople. He was famous for eloquence in preaching and public speaking. After his death, he was given the name Chrysostom, which means, "golden-mouthed". The Orthodox Church honors and counts him among the Three Holy Hierarchs, together with St. Basil the Great and St. Gregory the Theologian. Notable are his insightful expositions of Bible passages and moral teaching. The most valuable of his works are his Homilies on various books of the Bible. He particularly emphasized almsgiving. He was most concerned with the spiritual and temporal needs of the poor and spoke out against the abuse of wealth and personal property. His straightforward understanding of the Scriptures meant that the themes of his talks were eminently social, explaining the Christian conduct in life. St. John harmonized the liturgical life of the Church by revising the prayers and rubrics of the Divine Liturgy or the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. To this day, the Orthodox Church typically celebrates the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom and many read his Paschal Homily at Easter, the greatest feast of the Church. St. John came to be venerated as a saint soon after his death. His disciple Saint Proclus, the Patriarch of Constantinople (434-447), preached a homily praising his teacher amidst services in the Church of Hagia Sophia. He said, "O John, your life was filled with sorrow, but your death was glorious. Your grave is blessed and reward is great, by the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ. O graced one, having conquered the bounds of time and place! Love has conquered space, unforgetting memory has annihilated the limits, and place does not hinder the miracles of the saint."
